A couple of weeks ago I noticed a couple of pin-sized holes in my Oscar's fins. Now they're getting bigger. Is this "fin rot"? If so, how do I treat it? (All water parameters are good.) If treatment works, will the holes eventually heal up and disappear? Thanks!!

Is there any white around the holes?

A very small amount on one of them. Fungal?

It sounds fungal. My convict got fin rot due to having its fins wrecked by my JD. I moved the convict to a hospital tank and used Melafix which is a anti-bacterial and fungus medication. The fungis went away within a week of treatment.
